ITKE Community Blog

Today’s featured member, Kevin Fagan or KFaganJr on the forums, has already made quite an impression, not only on the questions around IT answers but on our editors with his in-depth guide on preparing for snow emergencies. He’s from our neck of the woods, working as a System Administrator. His diverse background in IT lends itself to his website Try2Stop.Us, which he uses to “document what is learned in the field, when it’s learned, in the hopes that it draws others into sharing knowledge.” A man after IT Knowledge Exchange’s own heart. Thanks, Kevin!
